Iron Quotes

At the top of the iron staircase leading to the stage, the good, dry, dusty warmth wraps me round like a comfortable dirty cloak Picture Quote #1

Sometimes friends do foolish things. My father told me that true friends are like gold coins. Ships are wrecked by storms and lie for hundreds of years on the ocean floor. Worms destroy the wood. Iron corrodes. Silver turns black but gold doesn’t change in sea water. It loses none of its brilliance or colour. It comes up the same. It survives shipwrecks and time Picture Quote #1

We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all Picture Quote #1

A good one iron shot is about as easy to come by as an understanding wife Picture Quote #1

Ancient stars in their death throes spat out atoms like iron which this universe had never known... Now the iron of old nova coughings vivifies the redness of our blood Picture Quote #1

The scene fascinated me: a round straw hat; the funnel leaning left, the stairway leaning right; the white drawbridge, its railings made of chain; white suspenders crossed on the back of a man below; circular iron machinery; a mast that cut into the sky, completing a triangle Picture Quote #1

There are few substance to which it yields interest, when it is considered how very intimately the knowledge and properties and uses of iron is connected with human civilization Picture Quote #1

There is no iron that can enter the human heart with such stupefying effect, as a period placed at just the right moment Picture Quote #1

Reading student papers, blue books, etc., a form of torture... a matter of rubbing an iron file over one’s teeth, or holding urine in one’s mouth, or having the racket of a bulldozer in one’s ear for an hour or two on end Picture Quote #1

Mild depression is a gradual and sometimes permanent thing that undermines people the way rust weakens iron... Like physical pain that becomes chronic, it is miserable not so much because it is intolerable in the moment as because it is intolerable to have known it in the moments gone and to look forward only to knowing it in the moments to come Picture Quote #1

The writers we absorb when we’re young bind us to them, sometimes lightly, sometimes with iron. In time, the bonds fall away, but if you look very closely you can sometimes make out the pale white groove of a faded scar, or the telltale chalky red of old rust Picture Quote #1

So deeply is the gardener’s instinct implanted in my soul, I really love the tools with which I work; the iron fork, the spade, the hoe, the rake, the trowel, and the watering pot are pleasant objects in my eyes Picture Quote #1

No iron can pierce the human heart as chillingly as a full stop placed at the right time Picture Quote #1

No one rises so high as he who knows not whither he is going. Not only strike while the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. Do not trust the cheering, for those persons would shout as much if you or I were going to be hanged Picture Quote #1

As a people, we have the problem of making our forests outlast this generation, or iron outlast this century, and our coal the next; not merely as a matter of convenience or comfort, but as a matter of stern necessity Picture Quote #1

If I were to speak of war, it would not be to show you the glories of conquering armies but the mischief and misery they strew in their tracks; and how, while they marched on with tread of iron and plumes proudly tossing in the breeze, some one must follow closely in their steps, crouching to the earth, toiling in the rain and darkness, shelterless themselves, with no thought of pride or glory, fame or praise, or reward; hearts breaking with pity, faces bathed in tears and hands in blood. This is the side which history never shows Picture Quote #1

Rights and rules, which are bonds of iron to a little man, are packthread to a giant Picture Quote #1

What use would wings be to a man bound in iron fetters? They would only drive him to even greater despair Picture Quote #1

Present suffering is not enjoyable, but life would be worth little without it. The difference between iron and steel is fire, but steel is worth all it costs Picture Quote #1

In this world, there are two times. There is mechanical time and there is body time. The first is as rigid and metallic as a massive pendulum of iron that swings back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. The second squirms and wriggles like a bluefish in a bay. The first is unyielding, predetermined. The second makes up its mind as it goes along Picture Quote #1

We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, but strike it till it is made hot Picture Quote #1

Families hold each other in an iron grip of definition. One must break the grip, somehow Picture Quote #1

If the iron is hot, I desire to believe it is hot, and if it is cool, I desire to believe it is cool Picture Quote #1

These are no ordinary claims; and it seems hardly possible for a rational being to regard them with even a subdued interest; much less to treat them with mere indifference and contempt. If not true they are little else than the pretensions of a bold imposture, which not satisfied with having already enslaved millions of the human race, seeks to continue its encroachments upon human liberty, until all nations be subjected under its iron rule Picture Quote #1

Cows eat grass and silage. This is melting the ice caps and killing us all. So they need a new foodstuff: something that is rich in iron, calcium and natural goodness. Plainly they cannot eat meat so here is an idea to chew on. Why not feed them vegetarians? Picture Quote #1

If you think dope is for kicks and for thrills, you’re out of your mind. There are more kicks to be had in a good case of paralytic polio or by living in an iron lung Picture Quote #1

None can destroy iron, but its own rust can! Likewise none can destroy a person, but its own mindset can! Picture Quote #1

We have no excuse to deviate from the paths of righteousness. If we hold fast to the iron rod, we cannot be deceived Picture Quote #1

Gold and iron at the present day, as in ancient times, are the rulers of the world; and the great events in the world of mineral art are not the discovery of new substances, but of new and rich localities of old ones Picture Quote #1

The best way to make a steak is grilled over an open flame or pan sauteed in a cast iron skillet Picture Quote #1
